Dear cast members and parents, Please see below messages from Mrs. VW and others:
Thanks again to the many parents/volunteers who have come out to help with costumes, stage construction, blocking, choreography, vocals, props, and chaperoning. The help is much appreciated. We have more opportunities to help, so please jump in!
I apologize for the difficulty in getting to Seton this past Saturday during the St. Patrick’s Day parade. The police were unexpectedly asked to close Maple Street all the way down to Cherry Street which made getting to Seton very difficult. Thank you for your heroic efforts to navigate Old Town.
COSTUMES!!! On Saturday, please wear whatever costumes that you have. This will give us a chance to see if there are any changes to costumes that we need to make before tech week!! Brothers, I will be coming with SHOE GLUE on Wednesday to repair any BOOTS that need it.
Cast Dinner- help needed-
Hello Everyone,
It’s hard to believe that Opening Night is almost upon us. That also means that Tech Week is right around the corner — the most strenuous week of rehearsals.
It’s hard to believe that Opening Night is almost upon us. That also means that Tech Week is right around the corner — the most strenuous week of rehearsals.
Each year during Tech Week, a dinner for the cast and crew is arranged to give them an opportunity to sit down, take a deep breath and enjoy a warm meal together.
This year the dinner will be held on Wednesday, April 4th from 4-5pm in Faustina.
I will need some assistance in the following areas:
- purchasing the food items(cakes, cookies, salad & fixings, rolls/tableware
- set up of Faustina (2-3 moms — also, a couple of strong gentlemen to help set up the tables would be appreciated)
- servers (2-4 moms)
- clean up of Faustina ( 2-3 moms — also, a couple of strong gentlemen to help put up the tables would be appreciated)
I cook the meal (so no cooking skills are necessary). This year we will not be asking the kids to bring desserts — each child will be asked to bring a case of small water bottles OR sodas/juice in cans or individual drink boxes. I am trying to reduce the amount of food/paper products that go to waste. If you can help, please contact Kathy Vestermark @ [email protected]
I can’t do this alone and it’s such a treat for the Cast and Crew who deserve a warm sit-down meal during the hardest week of the rehearsals!
Blessings,
Kathy Vestermark
